Our take on The Way
Rather than using a conventional adventure structure centered on a familiar setting, The Way places its journey on an alien planet and ties exploration to a search for eternal existence. Its puzzles and discoveries support a science-fiction story about refusing to accept death.
What is The Way?
The Way follows a space explorer who cannot accept the death of his beloved.
After discovering ancient writings about eternal existence during an expedition, he returns to an alien planet to search for answers about life itself. The planet contains secrets and problems that stand between him and his goal. Gameplay combines exploration with mind-bending puzzles, while the presentation uses a retro style rich in animation. The adventure draws inspiration from Another World, Heart of Darkness, and Flashback, and centers on uncovering the planet’s mysteries through a science-fiction story.
